Hi all,
I currently own a 2007 Moomba Mobius LS. I have owned it since 2008. Its a beautiful boat and very reliable. We've never had any problems with it at all. BUT, my main reason for owning a boat is for waterskiing. Even though I'm not great, I am a competitive skier skiing at 34 mph at 22 and 28 off. My personal best is 3 @ 32 off. When we bought our LS I wanted a waterski boat first. A family boat second. The LS is a direct drive and claims to be a great skiing boat. I chose the LS over something like Moomba's Outback - which is a tournament skiing boat - because we go to Lake Powell and Lake Mead quite a bit and I wanted something that wouldn't swamp the family when we got it in rougher water. The LS seemed to fit the bill perfectly. Like the 20i, the LS has a tall freeboard. Well, it does handle rough water pretty dang good. But the main reason we got the boat was for waterskiing. And the wake on the LS leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to skiing.
So my question for all of you is how does Tige's 20i compare to the Mobius LS? I know Chris Rossi pushes the 20i. Comparing the specs, the 20i is actually about 168 pounds heavier than the LS. I also have Moomba's wakeplate which is like Tige's TAPs system. So what is different about the 20i that makes it a great skiing boat? Is the 20i hull different than the LS hull? If so how? What else is different about it? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Garn
